I agree!  Whenever I ride with someone else, my horse's ears are pricked, and even if it's a trail we've done a 150 times, he's forward.  If he's on a *new* trail, he's the same way.  He just gets bored, when he knows the trail.  I understand and sympathize--I get the same way. 

 

One of these days, I can just imagine both of us quietly snoring as we amble down a trail...!

At home, my horse can poke along so slowly that it feels like we're going backwards sometimes, but when he is in a group, it's race time! 

 

That's why when I can, I train with an older retired horse that loves to be competitive and gets my guy psyched up at home!
